Klingon Word of the Day for Tuesday, January 14, 2020 Klingon word: Qut Part of speech: verb Definition: be vulgar Source: TKD _______________________________________________ AFAIK never used in canon. SEE: (KGT 155): The slang term {natlh} ["be reprehensible, disgusting, contemptible, shameful, objectionable"] is a frequently heard expression of disapproval or disgust, the speaker's comment on an event, another person, or a situation. Though by no means a curse and having no overtones of vulgarity, it is nonetheless a rather forceful term, used to express a strong emotion ... In its slang usage, however, the verb never has an object and the subject is what is being disparaged: {natlh 'Iw HIq} ("The bloodwine is disgusting"; literally, "the bloodwine consumes"); {natlh romuluSnganpu'} ("Romulans are objectionable"; literally "Romulans consume"); {bInatlh} ("You are contemptible" literally, "You consume"). Often, the word is used with no overt subject, as if an exclamation: {natlh} ("It is objectionable," or "That is shameful"; literally, "It consumes"). (KCD): [{QI'yaH}] is one of the strongest, most foul expressions in the Klingon language. It defies adequate translation.
